Chapter 068: Fishing

Heavy rain for three days and three nights has not been unheard of in the past. It's just that every time like this, the water will rise, and the valley will be flooded with water.

Sure enough, after three days and three nights, the water in the upper reaches of the Chishui River could not flow as well, and almost the entire valley was flooded except for this small hillside. The water is very deep, according to Xiaoqiang's measurement, there are three or four meters, and if it is still raining upstream, there is a possibility that the water will continue to rise.

At this time, most of the clansmen were very fortunate that they built a new house on this small hillside, and their home was not flooded. The tribesmen, who have not yet had time to build a house, are also determined to build a house here when the flood waters recede.

On the second day of the heavy rain, Mu Tong was very unfortunate to find that her aunt, who had not been here for a long time, had come because of the foundation building and cultivation.

Maybe it's because of her physical discomfort, or maybe it's because the environment has changed, she was sealed and cultivated for the third month after coming to the Huixiong Continent, and the eldest aunt came to see her.

Maybe it was the reunion after a long absence, the eldest aunt was menacing, and the amazing amount made Mu Tong himself a little frightened. If you don't pay attention to it, the eldest aunt may appear on her pants or skirt, which is really embarrassing.

There was no way, Mu Tong had to lie on his bed and put on a thick aunt's towel, lest he be careless, and he ended up with blood staining his lower body.

Ah Yu is very nervous, the soup and water have not stopped every day, and Mu Tong is not allowed to do anything, which is more thoughtful than serving the women in confinement, which makes Mu Tong feel bored and helpless.

Mu Tong almost ate, slept and ate, and stayed in bed all day anyway, which made her feel very bored. Thinking of teaching a few weak people survival skills, Mu Tong called them up one by one and taught them skills such as haircutting and shaving, combing various hairstyles, massage, and making candied fruits.

With these skills, even if they can't go out hunting or gather more food, they can use these service-oriented technologies in exchange for some food.

Of course, for the skills taught, Mu Tong also distributed some necessary tools, and by the way, he taught some business scriptures from modern times.

Because of the flood, the sorcerers and chiefs also visited the oracle and thanked the oracle for saving their home from being flooded. Mu Tong also discussed with them a plan to help the disadvantaged people in the tribe build houses after the floods.

After knowing that these disadvantaged families would give special service-oriented services to help the builders of the houses for two months, the chief and the shaman agreed to help the organizers build the houses. Because of these service-oriented technologies, both of them tried them separately and were very satisfied.

With a new haircut, a shaved beard, a massage, and a freshly made candied fruit, Basang and Houyi were delighted: the gods had made the adults merciful, and even the weak in the tribe were willing to help sincerely. What can't they do if they just move their mouths?

If even these weak people in the tribe can survive well, won't the tribe become more and more prosperous? At that time, I am afraid that there will be many people who come to join the tribe, and it will not be long before the tribe will become a big tribe that surpasses the Blackwater tribe.

After three days ago, the menacing aunt finally stopped being so turbulent, and Mu Tong also got out of bed and ran to the small hillside to catch fish.

As the saying goes, fishing in mixed water is better when the water rises. Because the tribe is located in a large recess surrounded by walls on three sides, the current is relatively calm, and this is the right time for fishing.

The fishing rod used in the tribe is a branch called wattle branch, which has the same characteristics as the bamboo rod and is light, strong and elastic, which is very suitable for making fishing rods. The fishing line is made of a kind of animal tendon, and the strength it can withstand is not bad. The hook is made of bone and is quite sharp.

The bait is made from a dough made from dried leaves and ground into flour. There are so many fish in the water that you can catch them almost immediately.

The smallest fish caught were five or six catties each, and the largest was at least twenty catties or more. Mu Tong didn't fish for a while at the water's edge, and he caught seven or eight big fish of more than ten catties. It seems that there are indeed few people in the tribe who fish to eat.

After being trapped in their homes for three days by the flood, the tribe had almost enough food to eat. In previous years, where would you have saved so much food? Now I can save and eat, because of the easy-to-preserve foods such as purple rice crackers and konjac powder.

There was not much food at home, and the people in the tribe trapped by the flood were originally a little uneasy: who knows when the flood will recede?

Every day, he watched from the door and window of his house, hoping that the flood would recede, so that he would go out to find food earlier, and when he saw the big fish caught by Mu Tong, his eyes lit up: yes, can't he still fish and eat?

In the blink of an eye, the side of the hill was full of people who came to fish. It seems that the fish here, many and silly, swooped forward one after another to break into the fish, and everyone in the tribe laughed: now there is no need to worry about hunger.

Fortunately, this is not really a 'small' hillside, and if it is said to be a small hillside, it is only relative to the whole wide valley. In fact, this small hillside is almost the size of three football fields. Three football fields, in addition to the dozens of houses built, are more than enough to accommodate more than 200 people on the open space.

Now, the people standing on the hillside are smiling happily: today they can eat delicious grilled fish.

Since Mu Tong offered a few fish foods, the people in the tribe love fishing more than before. It's just that I haven't developed the habit of eating fish every day, and I only think of fishing when I don't get a harvest every day.

There are so many fish in the water that you can basically go down with one shot and pull up a big one right away. At least 10 or more fish were harvested in each household.

Mu Tong saw that there were more people fishing, and she also got more than 20 of them herself, which was three or four hundred catties, so she stopped fishing.

Back in their yard, Ju Cao and the others had already cleaned up the fish they had caught before. After handing them the two big fish in his hand, Mu Tong washed his hands and face, and went upstairs to read.

Everyone already knows how to cook the dishes taught by Mu Tong, and they all want to compete for performance. After so many days of eating and living in the house of the divine envoy, everyone wants to do more and feel better.

Mu Tong doesn't fight with them, these clansmen still have the strength to cook, she also has to give others a chance to perform, right?

Ah Yu also caught several big fish, Dorjee was busy carrying the fish caught by Ah Ge back and forth, and when Ah Yu put away the fishing rod, the meals at home were ready.

The fish caught by Ayu was put in a large stone tank, and then cleaned up after eating, salted and hung on salt, and eaten in the next few days.

After washing his hands, Ah Yu went upstairs and called Mu Tong down, and more than a dozen people were divided into two tables, and they had lunch with laughter.
